Today's reboot reminded me of something to look forward to for these winter months, thanks to a gift I left myself in my #OpenBSD workstation's #X11 #xenodm `~/.xsession`:

```
# a little snow never hurt anyone, but let's only enjoy it in the winter months
case "$(date +%m)" in
11|12|01|02) xsnow -notrees -nosanta & ;;
esac
```

(Sadly, the #xsnow port & packages were sent to "the attic" long ago, but it still builds and functions normally.)

Also I noticed #OpenBSD booted really fast from boot prompt to #xenodm. With 2GB of RAM and 2 cores, it seemed to boot a lot faster than another #FreeBSD VM with the same specs.
#BSD #UseBSD #RunBSD #unix #FOSS

@daneharrigan That said, now that I've thought to try #OpenBSD #xenodm's default light & dark grey colors with the 'gray' pattern, I really like the effect:

`xsetroot -fg \#6f6f6f -bg \#bfbfbf -bitmap /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/gray`

@daneharrigan Good request! Here are screenshots of the aforementioned options I usually try, including the #OpenBSD #xenodm default #X11 root pattern I generally stick with.
I might try it myself soon and make an #OpenBSD #xenodm configuration for #MLVWM.

@archiet The main difference is that #xenodm lacks XDMCP and tightens security by using pledge(2) and privilege separation. Parts of #xenodm are run as separated processes under a unprivileged user account.
